We’re back from family vacation number two. And ready to be at home for a while.
Last week’s column was a round-up of fun and mostly free ways to entertain your kids in Asheville.
I also wrote this fun profile of local graphic novelist Hope Larson. Her new comic, Chiggers, hit stores a couple weeks ago. My 9-year-old loves the book!
I promise to blog something soon. I think.
Happy fourth of July yesterday!
Seems that all of my minimal creative summer energy leaches into my weekly column. So enjoy!
I’ll blog again some day. Happy solstice, June, and Independence Day!
I haven’t even had time to post a link to my column this week! Here it is, wishing everyone’s favorite plastic toy a happy 50th.
This week’s column is in memory of Edie Burke, a remarkable child. And in honor of my amazing community of neighbors and friends.
Last full day of school today for my kidlings. So summer’s here. Hurrah! I think. Here’s my Mt. X column talking bout it all.
What are your summer plans with kids?
This week I try to handle some sensitive reproductive questions from the kidlings in my column.
How have you handled these types of questions?
A version of this “how crunchy a mom are you” quiz has made the rounds of the mommy blogs. This is my version.
Tell me how granola are you?
My column for Mountain Xpress this week examines the stresses of end-of-grade testing. Fun!
This week, I wrote my column about what’s happening to the families of a religious sect in Texas. Scary stuff, on a bunch of different levels.
It took a bunch of researchers to tell us what we already knew: marriage increases the female’s housework significantly! Read my weekly EM column all about it at Mountain Xpress.
